TOILET AND IVIANICURE CASE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 26, 1905.

Application filed October 12, 1904. Serial No. 228,243.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN JEREMIAH MCLAIN DAWSON, a citizen of the United States, resid ing at Viroqua, in the county of Vernon and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Toilet and Manicure Case with a Card and Mirror Holder Attached, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in the secure holding either of a card or a mirror in a pocket toilet and manicure case, which improvement admits of the card or mirror beingreadilyinserted or removed without either injury to the case or the card or the mirror. I attain these objects by the use of the pockets illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view of my pocket-case folded ready for the pocket or hand-bag. Fig. 2 shows the case open, part of the mirror or card being broken away to show more clearly the flap underneath; Fig. 3, a section on line w 4r of Fig. 2, showing card or mirror in place and the position of flap when card or mirror is in proper place.

The article consists of a leather case made up of a back piece A, of leather or other suitable material, provided on its upper front face with pockets eand f for cards and change. On its lower front face are placed a series of pockets for various toilet and manicure articles. These pockets are made by attaching a single piece of soft leather cl to the front of the piece A and dividing it into suitable compartments by stitching. The front E of the pocket 6 is provided with four diagonal slits a a and a a, and a slit (4 a, extending between and running into the two slits a, forming a flap 9. A card or mirror may be attached to the-front of E by inserting it from the rear through the slit (4 a and underneath the flap 9 until the lower corners enter the diagonal slits a a, when the flap 9 may be thrust back of the mirror, leaving the latter securely held in the diagonal slits, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The snap-fastener (marked 1)) is made with a small hole through its back, permitting the case when open, as shown in Fig. 2, to be hung up. There is a pocket just back of the card and mirror pocket with a snap-fastener at top, (marked 0.) This fastener holds pocket closed and prevents the contents of pocket from losing out while case is handled or carried in pocket or hand-bag. The entire case forms a complete coin and folding bill-book, as well as a pocket toilet and manicure case.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A pocket-case having an inside pocket one side of which is provided with four diagonal slits adapted to receive the corners of a card or mirror, said side also having a flap under which said card or mirror may be inserted, said flap being formed bya slit a at extending from the inner end of one diagonal slit to the inner end of an adjacent diagonal slit, substantially as described and shown.
